Course Numbering System

Minnesota Transfer Curriculum

The Minnesota Transfer Curriculum represents a coordinated effort among Minnesota State institutions and the University of Minnesota to offer general education courses that may transfer from one institution to another.  

College Level

College-level courses are numbered 1000 or above. Diplomas require all courses to be college-level. A.S. and A.A.S. degrees require Minnesota Transfer Curriculum (MnTC) general education courses.

Developmental Level

Developmental courses are numbered 0999 or lower. These courses may be necessary to prepare students for success in college-level coursework but cannot be applied toward an A.S. degree, A.A.S. degree, diploma, or certificate.
